I agree. But how would you do that? Facebook, Reddit, Imgur, Youtube, HN, SO, and others are where all the people go because it's easy and, well, all the people are there. Those are your potential readers and customers. So you go there, as well. I remember having to visit multiple forums and buying stuff directly on small websites. I needed to have credentials for all of them, but that was the hardest part, really. I liked the experience more. Reddit et all are the same, they're technically a collection of smaller forums, with the important difference being that they're controlled by a single, big company. I think it's a dangerous thing for the future of the Internet and information in general. As Google and Facebook demonstrate, one ban and you lose potentially everything digital that you "own" (don't get me started on that). Anyone would be insane to take that risk, but most people don't even realize it exists.
